I have two questions about implementing a GFS cluster for NFS and samba failover: 1. Should one mount the GFS filesystem through the cluster software or through fstab. It would appear to me that you could mount the GFS filesystem through fstab and just have the NFS and samba services through the cluster manager so that one could move the service but still have access to the underlying filesystem. Pros and Cons?
The cluster software gives gfs file systems a special treatment. They don't get umounted when a service moves away. So when you migrate a service you still have the file systems even if you let the cluster sw handle the mounting.
